We need to find the balance between attacking and controlling the ball. Once we take the lead we should be the ones dictating the game and the pressure should be on the opponent as they are the ones who are trailing, but it never is. We are always the ones under huge pressure and pinned in our own box, and usually every time we touch the ball it is either a panicky clearance or a flash in the pan counter-attack. Given how much we pride ourselves on our 'passing' approach, our passing frequently falls to pieces when under pressure. It's not the way to hang on to leads and as you say, is not pleasurable watching. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Thank you :) nice to see so many Saints fans!
 
I think Artur went mental again after the 2nd goal... love it:

Thing I love about Rickie's goal is Cahill trying to put two arms on Rickie to hold him back, Rickie responds by putting two arms on Cahill and sending him stumbling backwards three yards. In my head he also shouted 'GET OFF ME BOY!'.

I can't watch that goal without shouting Riiiiiiicccccckkkkkkkiiiieeee at the top of my voice and scaring everyone in the room. I think I have issues.

<laugh> I hadn't noticed until you mentioned that, Cahill even has time to try and get back tight again but is clearly pretty intimidated and emasculated by our Rickie.
 
Ohhhhhhhh Artur Boruc!
Holy Goalie!
He hates the Skates!
And when he isn't saving he goes drinking with his mates!
He won't shake hands with any ****er Artur Boruc hates!
Ohhhhhhh Artur Boruc!

....etc....


I've been thinking and that's what I've got.

I'm getting the impression you really like Boruc.
 
On a seperate note i hear he is very close to a National call up once again, purely through peer preasure of Polish fans.

The Poles do seem to like him, Polish mate says he'd have him back in the fold tomorrow had he not had a bust-up and told the FA and the Manager what he thought.

Still loves him though.
 
Boruc and Smuda had history going back to both their times at legia. Smuda didn't rate him and he was only about 17 then. Lot of debate about what when on during that return flight from Chicago. Most of plane didn't agree with smuda's version of events. Think the polish fa would get over it, Smuda no but then they have new manager
 
Well, first he must get a run of consistent performances in the PL, but Szczesny surely lacks real competition now and he badly needs it. Boruc, when in form, is certainly the best keeper we can field, he was IMMENSE during WC2006 and EURO2008, seconds short of single-handedly stopping Germany.

The interesting thing is that we're playing England next October, roughly for the 40th anniversary of the historic match on Wembley where the proud Lions had to say good-bye to their World Cup's dreams. Then too we had a very eccentric goalie, labelled "the Clown" who made some flops early in the game but then pretty much won the thing for Poland. I wouldn't mind it happening again, but I presume things would look kind of different for most of you guys:D
